When your car needs a STAR station
Only a STAR station can certify a car when the DMV renewal notice says “Smog Certification Required at a STAR station”, or after a test flags it as a gross polluter. Any other car can go to any licensed station, STAR or not, and the certificate is the same. The test-only stations below inspect without selling repairs; the test-and-repair ones can fix a failure on the spot. More in what a STAR smog check is.
